Candidate Testimonials

I was excited for my affi course and all the evaluators were amazing teaching us what we need to know to become instructors. Would definitely point people in the direction of skydive ratings for their courses

I used Skydive Rating for my coach rating. I knew when I finished that I would be back for my AFFI rating. The staff at Skydive ratings is top tier. They honed my skills and gave me the knowledge needed to be a successful instructor. I would recommend Skydive ratings to anyone who wants quality, intuitive, and practical instruction.

I came to zhills to do my coach course last week with Skydive Ratings. I walked in with no expectations (except to hopefully get my coach rating ) and what I found was one of the most challenging 3 days of my life! I learned so much and was pushed and challenged the whole time. Our instructors were some of the best people I've ever met and the information they knew and passed to us was mindblowing! At times I was knocked down and felt like I wasn't going to make it and by the end I was so confident and ready to help and put to action everything! Thank you Bram and Dario for the best class. I wouldn't go anywhere else but to them for any future rating I want! Thank you for everything! I'm so excited to be the best coach to all the future baby birds !

Our instructor Dario was excellent! From the very beginning of the course until the end he kept us informed and interested. I really learned a lot and became a better teacher and skydiver.

I took the coach course with Skydive Ratings in Zhills. Dario was the instructor and he did an amazing job. He was thorough, interactive, and knowledgeable. I've taken other courses in the past and this one was easy to follow and the time flew by. They really care about the students and the sport in general to make it a good experience for everyone. They also promote great DZ habits and want to see students succeed.

Skydiving is not easy and the training to become a coach or other instructor should not be easy or cursory. The time, detail, and patience shown during my Coach course is why I will be back to Skydive Ratings the next time I am ready to progress. The site, the training aids, the comprehensive experience and knowledge of the instructors are exactly what I was and will look for.

I highly recommend Skydive Ratings, I could not have chosen a better place to further my skydiving education with. They are just a great group of people. I learned so much in just the few days I attended my coach course and I can't wait to go back down and take another course. I like to think of skydive ratings as the elite instructional academy. Thank you Bram for offering such a great course, and thank you Dario for guiding me throughout with great information and examples. Also, thank you Will for helping out (playing the student). I just can't express how great these instructors are!

Bram is very accommodating. His instruction thorough and to the point. Very professional and knowledgeable staff.
Even in a large class, the attention felt personalized for me.
I intend to visit Skydive Ratings for all my future ratings and evaluations.

Bram and Andres went above and beyond to make sure I was ready to go out and help teach, Coach and mentor the less experienced jumpers at my home DZ.
